Sam Lantinga f037300cd2 Erik Heckers fixed bug #493
Searching the installed man pages for SDL functions fails, e.g.
  man -k SDL_ |grep Video
After investigating this I found that "makewhatis", the tool that generates
the "whatis" database, reads the SDL_* man pages, but doesn't produce
entries in the "whatis" database for the SDL_* man pages.
After some more debugging I found the reason is a missing space.
After editing SDL_Init.3(.gz) and replacing
   SDL_Init\- Initializes SDL
with
   SDL_Init \- Initializes SDL
everything works fine.
After running "makewhatis" I can successfully do a
   man -k SDL_
and SDL_Init is listed in the output.

.SH "NAME"
SDL_DisplayFormatAlpha \- Convert a surface to the display format
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBSDL_Surface *\fBSDL_DisplayFormatAlpha\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *surface\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function takes a surface and copies it to a new surface of the pixel format and colors of the video framebuffer plus an alpha channel, suitable for fast blitting onto the display surface\&. It calls \fISDL_ConvertSurface\fR
.PP
If you want to take advantage of hardware colorkey or alpha blit acceleration, you should set the colorkey and alpha value before calling this function\&.
.PP
This function can be used to convert a colourkey to an alpha channel, if the \fBSDL_SRCCOLORKEY\fP flag is set on the surface\&. The generated surface will then be transparent (alpha=0) where the pixels match the colourkey, and opaque (alpha=255) elsewhere\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
If the conversion fails or runs out of memory, it returns \fBNULL\fR
.SH "SEE ALSO"
